Fundraising

We can’t thank you enough for your interest and support in the Wishbone foundation. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to offer the training and support necessary to help both parents and hospital staff cope with infant loss. Wishbone is always developing programs to make it easier for YOU to support us and fundraise for our cause.

Consider Wishbone as the Charity of your choice this year by hosting an event at your company or your home. Fundraising is a wonderful way to help honor a baby gone too soon, give back to the community, and/or train more healthcare workers on how to handle bereavement.

Host a Wishbone Give Back party! Here are some ideas to make your fundraising opportunity more appealing:

HOST A PARTY:

Host a party for Wishbone! What a fun way to get friends together over the Holidays or just because you want to give back! Have everyone bring a donation for Wishbone in an amount that is comfortable for them to contribute.

SPONSOR A NURSE:

Help Wishbone by sponsoring a nurse. It costs $300 to put a nurse through our training. Since our training is offered for free to our healthcare workers, we need your help! Throw a nurse themed party and either ask for donations or charge an entrance fee.

CREATE A
WISH BASKET:

Get a group of friends together to make baskets for our nursing units, healthcare workers, doctors, and or bereavement teams. Just as our families need a pick me up, our nurses need one to. We are creating baskets to deliver to our hospitals and their delivery teams when they have had losses in the unit. Items needed are Coffee Gift Cards, Spa certificates, essential oils, snacks (nuts, dried fruit, cookies), coloring books and colored pencils, journals, and any ideas you can think of too!

CREATE A FUNDRAISING
CAMPAIGN:

This can be collected in person with a local drive at your office, school or church. It can also be done digitally. Contact us to discuss ways to get started.

If you are active on social media or have a group that you believe would be interested in finding out more about Wishbone, we’ve created some sample text you can copy and use on your site, in your groups or on your social media accounts.

The wishbone charm signifies the wish for a healthy, beautiful baby. It had a significant meaning to Brad and Jianna during their pregnancy and has become the symbol of our mission here at Wishbone Foundation.
